Psychological ASsessment

Psychological Assessments, also called Psychological Testing or Psycho-educational Testing are complex evaluations that involve formal diagnostic interviews, behavioral observations, standardized testing, and self, parent, and/or teacher-reports. The information is gathered and integrated by a doctoral level Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and the results, recommendations, and any diagnoses are then detailed in a written report. Psychological Assessment is one of the most comprehensive ways to diagnose conditions such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Disorders, and other psychological, educational, and neurological conditions. Our team is excited to offer this service!
Please Note: We are currently not accepting testing referrals. ​

  • Intake: At the initial session, we will gather information about your concerns, confirm that testing is appropriate (or provide additional recommendations/referrals) obtain a thorough history, and determine which measures will be helpful in assessing your concerns. We will then develop a personalized testing plan.
  • Testing Sessions: You/your child will return for additional testing sessions to complete the assessment. We may send checklists to teachers or parents as well.
  • Written Report: After testing is complete, the psychologist will score, interpret, and write-up the results of all assessment components. The formal written report will include results, recommendations, and any diagnoses.
  •  Feedback Session: Finally, you will meet with your psychologist to go over the results/findings and answer any questions you have. We will discuss recommendations and referrals at that time as well.
